Am I getting a good deal?

And the Restaurant Food Index provides the answer. The RFI compiles price data from hundreds of thousands of actual restaurant purchases and shows you the high, low & average price ranges on over 100 of the most popular food ingredients nationwide and in your region.

It’s like the Consumer Price Index, but for restaurants.

Understand specific price trends on key ingredients, determine the right margins for dishes and menus, and know if you’re getting fair market pricing on your most important ingredients.

People are talking about the Restaurant Food Index

We figured there’d be some chatter about the RFI. Here’s what they’re saying…

The one thing we kept hearing over and over… “Can you tell me if I’m getting a good deal?” We realized that we had incredible data that could provide massive operational value to the restaurant. So we built the Restaurant Food Index.

We use the Orderly app for inventory and accounting, and we have not been disappointed. It’s already a great system… and now the addition of the Restaurant Food Index for price compare has made it even better.
